30 MINUTE DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400*F.
• In a large bowl, combine 1 cup water, oil, sugar, and yeast. Let sit until yeast is bubbly (about 8 minutes). Stir in beaten egg, softened butter, and salt.
• With a stand mixer or by hand, add flour, one cup at a time until you have a soft dough that isn't sticky. Knead by hand 10 minutes or 5 minutes with a stand mixer.
• Divide dough into 18 even pieces, and form into balls. Place in a greased pan and cover with parchment paper and a kitchen towel.
• Let rise 10 minutes in a warm place. (You can allow them to rise up to an additional 30 minutes if time allows).
• Lightly brush with milk and bake on the middle rack for 10-12 minutes or just until browned.

CLASSIC DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• Combine 3/4 cup flour, undissolved yeast, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Heat milk, water and butter until very warm (120 degrees to 130 degrees F). Add to flour mixture. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Add 1/4 cup flour; beat 2 minutes at high speed. Stir in enough remaining flour to make soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes. Cover; let rest 10 minutes.
• Divide dough into 12 equal pieces; shape into balls. Place in greased 8-inch round pan. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
• Bake in preheated 375 degrees F oven for 20 minutes or until done. Remove from pan; brush with additional melted butter, if desired. Serve warm.

QUICK-RISE BUNS

Steps:

• Stir 1 Tbsp sugar into 1 cup warm water. Sprinkle yeast over top. Let stand 10 minutes. Stir.
• Meanwhile, in large mixer bowl, beat the 2 eggs slightly along with the remaining 2 cups water. Stir in the 6 Tbsp sugar, 2 tsp salt, and 6 Tbsp oil. Then stir in the yeast mixture. Beat in 4 cups of flour with your mixer on medium speed. Beat 3 minutes to develop the gluten.
• Work in the rest of the flour gradually, either with your dough hook attachment or by hand with a wooden spoon. If using mixer with a dough hook, let it go about 3 - 4 minutes until it pulls away from the side of the bowl. If mixing by hand, once the dough is too stiff to mix with a spoon, turn out onto a counter and work the flour in by hand.
• Either way, at the end of mixing, the dough still benefits from kneading it a bit by hand. Turn out onto your counter or table and knead the dough by hand, using flour as necessary to keep it from sticking to the counter. Knead till dough feels smooth and elastic to the touch. This will take 3 to 4 minutes if you have already used a dough hook, or 8 to 10 minutes if you are doing it entirely by hand.
• Turn dough into large, well greased bowl, grease the top of the dough (spray with Pam), cover with wax paper, then a damp cloth, and set in a warm place to rise until almost doubled in bulk, about 3/4 to 1 hour. Punch down. Divide dough into 3 large pieces, then cut each large piece into 12 smaller pieces. Form into 36 buns.
• Place buns on cookie sheet for hamburger-size buns, or in 9 x 13 cake pan for dinner buns. Grease top of buns (easiest way it to spray them with Pam), and cover with wax paper to rise.
• Let buns rise until doubled in bulk.
• Bake at 350 degree F for about 20 minutes for hamburger buns, or 25 minutes for pan buns, or until they sound hollow when tapped on the top. Brush tops again with melted butter or spray with cooking oil spray to make a nice shiny and tender top crust.
• Cook's Notes
• Hint: Use 1 cup of whole wheat flour and the rest white. No one will know, and the taste is so much better! Another option is to make 24 regular buns and a dozen cinnamon buns.
• - roll one third of the dough out on a floured surface to about a 10 x12 inch rectangle.
• - Spread with 1/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp butter, then sprinkle on evenly: 3/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tsp cinnamon and 3/4 cup raisins (raisins are optional).
• - Roll up from long edge and cut into 12 even slices
• - prepare 9 x 13 inch pan by melting 1/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp butter and 2 Tbsp corn syrup, and pour into bottom of the pan. Sprinkle over evenly: 3/4 cup brown sugar, 1 Tbsp cinnamon and 3/4 cup pecan halves.
• - place cinnamon roll slices in the prepared pan, cover with wax paper, and let sit in warm place until doubled in size.
• Bake at 350 degrees F for 25 to 30 minutes. Remove and let sit in pan for 5 minutes. Then turn over onto foil and let the pan sit over the cinnamon buns for 10 minutes, to allow all the sugar syrup to run onto the buns. Serve immediately.

• Mix in enough flour to make a soft dough (2 - 2 1/2 Cups).
• Mix well until dough is soft and slightly sticky, then turn out onto floured surface and let rest under a large greased bowl for about 15 minutes.
• Shape dough into 12-15 small balls and place on greased baking sheet to rise until doubled in size. (approx 45 Mins).
• Bake in preheated 400 degree oven 12-15 minutes.

TWENTY MINUTE BUNS

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
• Add oil, 2 cups of flour and the salt; stir well to combine. Add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring well after each addition. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide into three equal pieces. Divide each big piece into 6 small ones. Form the pieces into rounds. Place the rounds into the prepared pan. Cover the rolls with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let rise until doubled in volume, about 20 minutes.
• Beat together the egg white and water. Gently brush the risen rolls with the egg wash and then bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 15 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown.
